16  STATE    NORMAL    SCHOOL, 


Character  of  a  Normal  School. 

The  Normal  School  is  an  institution  in  which  Teachers  re- 
ceive a  professional  education.  Its  object  therefore  is  two  fold. 
First,  the  acquisition  of  knowledge,  the  cultivation  of  the  intel- 
lectual, moral  and  physical  powers  and  the  training  of  the  eye 
to  see  accurately  and  the  hand  to  do  skillfully  ;  second,  and 
specifically  the  object  of  the  school,  learning  how  to  apply  this 
knowledge  and  skill  in  the  education  of  others.  Hence  the 
Normal  School  is  strictl}'^  a  professional  school.  Its  mission  is 
to  train  the  teacher  in  the  great  art  of  teaching.  And  while  it 
is  true  that  "the  mere  possession  of  knowledge  does  not  make 
one  a  teacher  any  more  than  the  possession  of  powder  and  shot 
makes  him  a  marksman,"  it  is  no  less  true  that  a  teacher  cannot 
become  proficient  in  the  art  without  knowledge  and  culture. 
The  State  Authorities  have  kept  in  view  this  principle  in  pro- 
viding the  courses  of  study  for  the  State  Normal  School.  As 
recently  revised,  the  following  are  the  courses  of  stud}^

20  STATE    ^■OKMAL    SCHOOL, 

Students  who  have  graduated  in  the  Elementary  Normal 
Course  can  complete  the  Scientific  Course  in  two  years.  Com- 
paratively few  Normal  graduates  take  the  Scientific  Course 
after  completing  the  Elementary  Course.  The  former  will  fit  a 
teacher  to  fill  creditably  a  position  in  any  Normal  or  high  school 
in  the  State.  The  fact  that  but  few  have  completed  the  Scien- 
tific Course  will  make  more  prominent  those  who  do.  At  the 
opening  of  the  Fall  Term  a  "Scientific"  class  will  be  formed 
for  those  who  may  wish  to  take  the  course.  The  following  ar- 
rangement of  studies  of  this  course  has  been  prepared  for  use 
in  this  school.

sists of  the  State  Sujx^riiitciidiMit  of  I'liMir  I  iistnic.tioii,  or  his 
Deputy,  who  is    President    ol     th'    l-Ioard,    an;]    the    I'riticipaj    of 


CLARION,    PA.  21 

another  Normal  School  ;  two  Superintendents  from  the  Thir- 
teenth District,  and  the  Principal  of  this  school.  Each  student 
must  receive  four  votes  out  of  five  in  order  to  pass  the  exami- 
nation and  to  graduate. 

The  examinations  for  entrance  to  the  Senior  Class  are  con- 
ducted by  the  Faculty  of  the  school  and  b}'  the  State  Board  of 
Examiners.  The  final  examinations  occur  in  June.  They  are 
almost  wholly  in  writing  and  last  about  three  daj-s. 

Certificates  for  admission  to  the  higher  classes  will  be  granted 
to  members  of  the  Junior  and  First  Year  Classes  who  pass  suc- 
cessfully the  examinations. 

Diplomas. — ^A  graduate  in  the  Elementary  Course  receives  a 
diploma  in  which  are  named  the  branches  studied  and  b}'  which 
he  is  constituted  Bachelor  of  Elements,  {B.  E.').  The  di- 
plomas of  those  graduating  in  the  Scientific  Course  enumer- 
ate the  distinctive  branches  of  the  course.  The  holder  of  this 
diploma  is  constituted  Bachelor  of  Sciences,  {B.  S.). 

Graduates  in  the  Elementary  course  can  be  examined  in  any 
of  the  studies  of  the  Scientific  Course  at  any  State  examination, 
and  can  have  these  branches  put  upon  their  diplomas. 

Regular  graduates  who  have  continued  their  studies  for  two 
years,  and  who  have  practiced  their  profession  for  two  annual 
terms  in  the  Public  Schools  of  the  State,  and  who  have  pre- 
sented to  the  Faculty  and  Board  of  Examiners  a  certificate  of 
good  moral  character  and  skill  in  the  art  of  teaching  from  the 
Board  or  Boards  of  Directors  in  whose  employ  they  have  taught, 
countersigned  by  the  proper  Superintendent  or  Superintendents, 
may  receive  diplomas  constituting  them  Masters  in  the  several 
studies  embraced  in  the  Course  in  which  they  graduate.  The 
graduate  from  the  Elementary  Course  receives  the  degree  of 
Master  of  the  Elements,  (31.  E.).  The  Scientific  graduate  re- 
ceives the  degree  of  Master  of  the  Sciences,   {M.  S.). 

These  diplomas  are  permanent  certificates  of  the  highest 
grade.  They  confer  upon  their  holders  the  right  to  teach  the 
branches  named  therein  in  the  Public  Schools  in  Pennsylvania 
without  further  examination. 


22  STATE    NORMAL    SCHOOL, 

Applications  for  diplomas  must  be  presented  to  the  Board  of 
Examiners  at  the  regular  session. 

State  Certificates. — Practical  teachers  who  have  not  at- 
tended a  Normal  School  as  students  may  obtain  a  Teacher's 
State  Certificate  by  passing  an  examination  in  all  the  branches 
in  the  course  in  Avhich  the}'  desire  a  certificate  by  the  Facult\ 
and  the  State  Board  of  Examiners  at  their  annual  examination. 

Professional  work  is  a  distinctive  feature  of  Normal  Schools. 
In  this  department,  teachers  are  trained  in  the  Theory  and  Art 
of  their  vocation.  The  First  Year  and  Junior  Classes  have 
daily  recitations  in  Metho ''s  of  Teaching  the  several  branches. 
A  text  book  is  used  and  a  well  selected  teacher's  library  fur- 
nishes supplementary  matter  for  stud}'. 

The  last  term  of  the  Junior  Year  is  given  to  School  Manage- 
ment, while  during  the  remainder  of  the  year.  Methods  of  In- 
struction are  discussed  and  exemplified   by  the  class. 

The  Senior  Class  gives  two  terms  to  Psychology  and  its  ap- 
plications to  teaching,  and  one  term  to  History  of  Education. 
This  theoretic  work  is  accompanied  by  practice  teaching  in  the 
Model  School.  Before  graduation,  each  Senior  is  required  to 
present  a  thesis  on  some  professional  subject  of  his  own  selec- 
tion, which  is  submitted  to  the  Board  of  Examiners. 

The  aim  is  to  make  the  work  of  the  school  practical  and  help- 
ful. Many  students  have  had  some  experience  as  teachers  be- 
fore they  come  to  the  Normal,  some  of  which  is  useful,  while 
some  experiences  may  prove  a  hindrance.  Advantage  is  taken 
of  all  helpful  circumstances  to  strengthen  young  teachers  in 
every  phase  of  their  profession. 


Model  School. 


A  Model  School  is  an  indisixMisabU;  part  of  a  Normal  School. 
It  presents  to  the  Professional  Student  an  (!.\ani])le  of  what  a 
Public  School  ought  to  be,  and  also  hirnishcs  those  preparing 
to  teach  a  place  where  they  may  learn  the  Art  of  Teaching  b}^ 
actual  practice 


CLARION,    PA.  23 

The  professional  aim  of  a  Normal  School  is  to  afford  instruc- 
tion in  the  Theory  and  Practice  of  Teaching.  While  much  of 
the  work  of  the  Normal  Course  is  necessarily  scholastic,  the 
Professional  course  in  the  application  of  established  principles, 
is  consummated  in  the  actual  work  of  the  Model  School. 

Theory  without  practice  is  like  a  vessel  unlaunched.  It  may 
be  apparently  correct  in  its  construction,  but  its  practical  utility 
can  be  estimated  only  by  actual  trial.  Theory  must  be  sup- 
plemented by  practice.  Theory  is  preliminary  to  the  Art  of 
Teaching.  Art  is  perfected  in  practice.  In  the  intelligent  ap- 
plication of  the  Principles  derived  from  the  nature  of  the  IMind, 
the  nature  of  Knowledge,  and  the  nature  of  Instruction,  correct 
Methods  of  Teaching  are  established. 

The  teaching  is  done  by  the  members  of  the  Senior  Class, 
under  the  direct  supervision  of  the  Principal  of  the  ]\Iodel 
School.  Lesson  plans  are  prepared  by  the  teachers  and  thus 
the  object  of  each  recitation  is  established  while  machine  work 
is  practically  eliminated.  The  Seniors  teach  with  the  view  of 
culture  to  the  pupil,  holding  as  secondary  the  matter  taught.  In 
education  the  idea  of  development  should  absorb  the  weaker  idea 
of  acquisition. 

One  instructive  feature  of  the  Model  School  is  the  weekh-  teach- 
er's meeting,  presided  over  by  the  Principal  of  the  Model  School 
and  attended  by  all  the  Seniors.  Methods  of  teaching  are  dis- 
cussed, points  of  discipline  argued,  observation  lessons  given 
and  criticised.  Many  students  get  more  good  from  a  single 
term  rightly  used  in  the  Model  School  than  they  could  from 
years  of  schoolroom  work  without  advice  or  criticism. 


The  Departments. 

The  courses  of  instruction  arranged  for  this  institution  are 
founded  upon  the  principle  that  thorough  scholarship  is  the 
basis  of  all  good  teaching.  It  is  necessary,  therefore,  that  a 
Normal  School  make  ample  provisions  to  fit  a  teacher  scho- 
lastically    for    his   profession.       A  teacher  needs   to    keep    fully 


2Jb  STATE    NORMAL    SCHOOL, 

abreast  of  the  foremost  educators  of  the  day.  It  will  be  the 
constant  aim  of  this  school  to  provide  for  its  students  in  its  va- 
rious departments  of  education,  the  best  culture  and  the  latest 
improvements  in  the  realms  of  knowledge. 

It  was  decided  in  1878  that  after  that  date  no  students  should 
be  graduated  in  the  Normal  Classical  Course.  Students  wish- 
ing, however,  to  pursue  College  preparatory  studies  will  be 
provided  for  in  the

LATIN     AND  GREEK. 

Students  in  Latin  are  drilled  with  special  care  in  Grammar. 
During  the  first  year  a  i):irt  of  each  lesson  consists  in  translat- 
ing English  into  Latin,  and  somi  attention  is  given  to  the  deri- 
vation of  English  words  from  Latin  roots.  Two  terms  are 
spent  on  Collar  &   Danicll's   botjk   for  beginners.      This    lays    a 


CLARION,    PA.  25 

good  foundation  and  makes  the  study  of  Caesar  an  easy  task. 
The  Helvetian  War  is  read  during  the  fall  term  of  fourteen 
weeks. 

What  has  been  said  about  Latin  applies  to  Greek.  Students 
preparing  for  college  spend  one  and  a  half  terms  on  White's 
Greek  Lessons.  The  first  book  of  the  Anabasis  is  read  during 
the  remainder  of  the  school  year.  The  amount  of  the  classics  read 
varies  from  year  to  year,  but  the  following  ma}^  be  taken  as  the 
average  :  Caesar,  four  books  ;  Cicero,  six  orations  ;  \'irgil,  six 
books  ;  Anabasis,  four  books  ;  Iliad,  three  books.  No  one 
should  expect  to  prepare  for  college  in  less  than  three  years, 
two-thirds  of  the  time  being  spent  on  the  classics.  Foundation 
work  is  the  most  important  ;  the  habit  of  cramming  is  sure  to 
prove  detrimental  to  accurate  scholarship   and  finished   culture. 

NATURAL  SCIENCE. 
In  this  department  it  is  the  aim  to  awaken  a  greater  interest 
in  all  the  different  branches  of  Natural  Science.  Instruction  is 
given  in  the  form  of  discussions,  reports  by  the  students  on 
different  subjects  assigned  them  for  special  investigation,  reci- 
tations, written  exercises,  etc.,  with  the  aid  of  topical  outlines, 
drawings,  charts,  experiments,  text  books,  practical  problems, 
etc.  During  the  past  year  many  valuable  pieces  of  apparatus 
have  been  made  by  the  students  in  this  department.  In  this 
work  they  are  in  charge  of  the  teacher  of  Manual  Training,  and 
the  teacher  of  the  department,  who  assign  the  work  and  give 
directions  in  making  it.  Besides  having  free  use  of  the  tools 
in  the  Manual  Training  Department,  pupils  have  constant  ac- 
cess to  a  large  and  well  selected  librar^'  containing  many  valu- 
able references  on  all  scientific  subjects.  Sufficient  apparatus 
to  illustrate  nearly  all  the  principles  of  Mechanics,  Pneumatics. 
Hydrostatics,  Hydraulics,  Acoustics,  Optics,  Heat.  Electricity, 
is  now  in  use  and  additions  are  made  yearh".  The  apparatus  is 
of  a  good  quality  and  besides  many  pieces  not  named  below, 
includes  the  following  : 

Cohesion  Plates,  Prince  Rupert's  Drops,  Capillary  Tubes,  Collision  Bills,

MATHEMATICS. 

In  the  sphere  of  Matlioiiiatics  tlie  aim  is  twofold  ;  to  confer 
on  the  student  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  branches  taught 
that  he  may  either  in  turn  teach  them  to  otliers  or  apply  his 
knowledge  to  the  practical  affairs  of  life  ;  and,  to  discii>line  his 
faculties  by  healthy  exercise  that  lie  may  the  better  co})e  with 
obstacles  in  any  sphere  whatsoever.  Bacon  never  taught  more 
wisely  than  when  he  said.  "If  a  man's  wits  be  wandering,  let 
him  study  Mathematics." 


CLARION,    PA.  Z  i 

In  the  more  elementary  features  of  the  work  a  close  adherence 
is  maintained  to  actual  business  practice,  that,  while  still  em- 
phasizing mental  discipline,  the  student  may  not  need  to  unlearn 
and  learn  anew  when  he  leaves  the  school  for  the  counting, 
room. 

In  advanced  work  the  student  is  schooled  in  the  elements  of 
logic  and  trained  in  the  processes  of  correct  reasoning.  By 
means  of  original  exercises  and  demonstrations  he  is  constantl}' 
thrown  upon  his  ovv'n  resources  and  disciplined  to  a  course  of 
independent  thought.  Mensuration  following  Geometry,  (as  it 
should  whenever  practicable),  is  studied  in  its  relation  to  its  un- 
derlying principles  ;  but  the  student-teacher  is  at  the  same  time 
trained  in  the  use  of  Geometric  forms,  dissected  blocks  and  vari- 
ous other  devices  for  making  the  subject  as  clear  as  possible  to 
pupils  who  have  not  had  the  advantages  of  a  course  in  Geome- 
tr3^  Students  are  also  required  to  make  these  forms  for  them- 
selves under  the  direction  of  the  teacher  in  Manual  Training. 
In  the  measurement  of  areas  exercise  is  given  in  actual  field 
work  with  chain  and  compass,  from  which  data  areas  are  plotted 
and  computed.  This  phase  of  the  Avork  will  be  expanded  as  the 
necessities  of  the  course  demand. 

HIGHER    ENGLISH. 

The  stud}'  of  Rhetoric  as  pursued  here  is  made  especiallv  to 
subserve  the  purpose  of  developing  the  student's  power  of  inde- 
pendent logical  analysis,  thorough  investigation,  and  effective 
elaboration  of  any  and  all  subjects.  The  subject  of  Rhetoric  it- 
self is  outlined  in  detail,  and  that  the  study  ma}-  be  made  practi- 
cal rather  than  theoretical,  bi-weekly  essays,  illustrative  of  the 
various  forms  of  discussion,  are  required  on  themes  assigned  by 
the  teacher.  These  are  criticised  by  pupil  and  teacher,  and 
criticisms  reported  in   class. 

The  study  of  the  History  of  Literature  is  designed  to  lead  the 
student  to  trace  for  himself  the  evolution  of  English  and  Ameri- 
can Literature  in  its  various  departments,  the  development  of 
the  English  Language,  and  their  relation  to  the  political,  social 
and  moral  history  of  the  people.  In  the  limited  term  of  twelve 
weeks  allotted  to  this  work,  special  studv  is  necessarilv  given  to

but  few  individual  authors,  as  Shakespeare,  INIilton  and  Lowell, 
around  whom  others  are  grouped  as  the  latter  are  briefly  sketch- 
ed. A  special  effort  is  made  to  challenge  and  encourage  inde- 
pendent individual  literary  criticism  on  the  part  of  the  student, 
taking  into  consideration  the  author's  advantages,  his  own  per- 
sonal character,  and  the  character  of  his  times,  as  well  as  the 
subject  matter  and  the  style  of  his   writings. 

MUSIC. 

The  aim  of  the  Music  Department  is  to  furnish  a  school  where 
the  instruction  and  advantages  shall  be  of  a  character  that  the 
wants  of  the  Music  Students,  whether  professional  or  amateur, 
can  be  fully  satisfied. 

We  shall  strive  to  go  below  the  surface  in  our  instruction  and 
give  to  our  pupils  thorough,  solid  progress.  Our  object  is  to 
furnish  a  school  where  students  may  be  prepared  for  any  of  the 
larger  conservatories,  for  teaching,  or  for  study  in  Europe. 

Below  is  a  description  of  our  Course,  designed  to  show  the 
nature  of  our  instruction. 

All  graduates  in  any  Musical  Course  are  required  to  attend 
Harmony  and  Theory  Classes  for  at  least  one  year.

VOCAL  COURSE. 

This  Course  covers  from  three  to  five  years,  according  to  wants- 
and  application  of  pupil. 

In  this  branch  of  music  study  the  greatest  attention  will  be 
paid  to  voice-building  and  correct  breathing.  Concerted  music 
will  be  used  and  care  "will  be  taken  in  the  selection  and  stud}-  of 
songs. 

ORGAN    COURSE. 

The  strict  German  school  is  used,  beginning  with  Stainer's 
method.  A  smooth  pedal  and  manual  touch  will  be  taught  and 
instruction  in  use  of  stop  and  management  of  organ  will  be  giv- 
en. Buck's  Pedal  Studies,  Compositions  by  Merkel,  Mayn, 
Batiste,  Clark,  Bach  and  Mendelssohn  will  be  used.  We  will 
guarantee,  if  the  student  do  his  part,  to  graduate  an  efficient  and 
finished  organist. 

HARMONY  AND    THEORY. 

Harmony,  Counterpoint  and  Composition  Classes  will  be 
formed.  A  simplified  method  is  used,  making  a  very  interesting 
and  profitable  course  of  study.  Pains  will  be  taken  to  make  it 
thorough.      One  year's  course  is  compulsory   to  graduates. 

Free  Advantages. — Chorus  classes  will  be  free  to  all  students 
in  any  course  of  the  institution.  The  following  classes  will  be 
free  to  all  music  students  :  Histor}'  of  Music,  classes  in  analysis- 
of  compositions,  short  lectures  or  talks  on  musical  subjects  b}- 
the  director.  These  talks  are  calculated  to  arouse  interest  and 
to  give  pupils  information  in  regard  to  thsir  stud}'. 

Concerts. — As  the  students  become  capable  the}-  will  he  ex- 
pected to  take  part  in  these  concerts  and  thus  familiarize  them- 
selves with  playing  in  public. 

We  aim  to  graduate  finished  players,  with  true  taste,  a  good 
technique  and  a  thorough  understanding  of  what  they  have  done.

The  Library. 

One  of  the  most  valuable  features  of  the  school  is  the  Librar}', 
which  contains  over  3,000  volumes,  selected  with  special  refer- 
ence to  the  wants  of  the  students.  The  room  is  on  the  first  floor 
of  the  main  building,  is  large,  well-appointed  and  easN'  of  ac- 
cess.     It  is  open  daily  and  is  free  to  all. 

The  books  are  classified  and  arranged  so  as  to  be  easih"  con- 
sulted, and  students  are  urged  to  take  and  read  them.  The\- are 
also  encouraged  to  investigate  the  subjects  of  stud}-,  rather  than 
to  memorize  the  subject  matter  of  their  text  books.  This  great- 
ly increases  the  value  of  stud}-  here. 

The  books  are  classified  as  follows  :

Two  years  ago,  Hon.  J.  T.  Mallctl  turned  over  to  the  Library 
the  many  public  documents  received  by  him  as  Member  of  the 
50th  Congress,  also  a  complete  set  of  public  documents  of  one 
year's  issue  of  each  State  in  the  Union.  These  relate  to  the  ed- 
ucational, industrial,  manufacturing,  social,  and  sanitary  inter- 
ests of  the  people.       In  a!!,  this  df)natif)n   aggregates    more  than 


CLARION,    PA.  33 

2,000  volumes.  Mr.  Maffett  also  procured  from  the  Foreign 
Legations  at  Washington  specimens  of  newspapers  of  every 
foreign  language  obtainable  for  the  Library.  These  papers  may 
be  referred  to  at  any  time. 

Connected  with  the  Library  is  a  Reading  Room  Avhich  is  well 
supplied  with  daily  and  weekly  papers,  and  with  the  leading 
magazines.  It  is  also  open  daily  to  all  members  of  the  school. 
GENERAL  READING. 

The  taste  for  good  reading  cannot  be  overestimated.  There 
is  not  a  subject  on  which  new  light  cannot  be  thrown,  and  to 
which  new  interest  cannot  be  added  by  judicious  reading.  We 
hear  so  much  of  the  "practical"  in  these  days.  Nothing  can  be 
more  practical  than  such  employment  as  begets  in  us,  first,  the 
habit  of  reading  ;   then,  the  habit  of  good   reading. 

Come,  then,  to  the  Library  and  select  something  to  read.  We 
suggest  the  following  as  books  full  of  interest  and  practical 
thought  :

Buildings  and  Grounds. 

Seminary  Hall  contains  the  Chapel,  Auditorium,  Principal's 
Office,  Recitation  Rooms  and  Library. 

Two  Dormitories,  one  for  the  ladies  and  the  other  for  tlie 
gentlemen,  stand  within  a  few  yards  of  the  Seminary  Hall. 
These  two  building  are  heated  by  steam,  lighted  with  gas,  and 
have  hot  and  cold  water  and  l^ath  rooms  on  every  floor,  and  all 
the  rooms  arc  carpeted   and  fnrnislied  with  clothes-presses,  beds 


CLARION,     PA.  35 

and  bedding,  tables,  chairs,  and  everj'thing  requisite  for  com- 
fortable living.  The  teachers  and  boarding  students  take  their 
meals  in  the  ladies'  dormitor}-. 

The  Music  Hall  contains  a  teaching  room,  an  assembl}' 
room,  eleven  practice  rooms,  a  studio,  a  suite  of  living  rooms, 
a  manual  training  room,  and  a  gymnasium. 

It  is  proposed  by  means  of  the  increased  facilities  recently 
afforded  by  the  State  special  appropriation  to  erect  during  the 
year  a  Model  School  building  fully  equipped  for  the  work  of 
that  department,  and  to  provide  therein,  as  far  as  practicable, 
for  other  needs  of  the  institution  hitherto  unmet.  The  appro- 
priation provides,  also,  for  the  erection  of  a  building  for  heating 
arrangements,  a  steam  laundry  and  an  electric  lighting  plant. 
With  these  improvements  the  school  will  have  every  convenience 
that  modern  science  can  suppl}'. 

The  grounds,  ten  acres  in  e.xtent,  are  on  an  elevation  over- 
looking the  town  and  are  graded  in  lawns  and  terraces. 

The  station  of  the  Pittsburgh  &  Western  railroad  is  on  the 
opposite  side  of  the  street  from  the  buildings.  Trunks  are  de- 
livered free  of  charge  into  the  rooms  of  the  dormitories. 


How  to  Reach  Clarion. 

The  school  is  situated  at  Clarion,  the  county  seat  of  Clarion 
county,  a  quiet  and  pleasant  village  of  about  two  thousand 
inhabitants,  situated  on  the  heights  above  the  Clarion  river. 
Cool  and  bracing  breezes  and  pure  water  contribute  to  the 
general  healthfulness  of  the  place  and  make  it  a  delightful  spot 
during  the  summer  months.  According  to  the  last  census, 
Clarion  was  reported  as  having  the  lowest  death  rate  of  an\- 
point  in  the  United   States. 

Clarion  is  located  on  the  Pittsburgh  lSc  Western  R.  R.,  whicli 
road,  as  well  as  the  Bradford,  Bordell  &  Kinzua  R.  R.,  and  the 
Pittsburgh,  Shenango  and  Lake  Erie  R'y. .  will  give  special 
rates  to  students  between  Clarion  and  any  point  on  their  respec- 
tive lines  in   Penns^'lvania.

Students  will  find  it  to  their  advantage  to  reach  these  roads 
at  the  nearest  points.  Reduced  rates  have  also  been  procured 
from  a  Transfer  Compan}-  in  Pittsburgh  for  conveying  students 
and  baggage  from  any  depot  or  hotel  in  the  city  to  and  from 
the  P.  &  W.  R.   R.,   in  Allegheny. 

Special  rates  have  also  been  secured  at  hotels  in  Bradford, 
Kane,  Foxburg  and  Brookville. 

Students  desiring  rooms  in  the  dormitories  should  apply 
sufficiently  in  advance  of  the  term  during  which  they  wish  the 
same  ;  and  those  wanting  rooms  for  self  boarding  should  be  ex- 
plicit as  to  whether  furnished  or  unfurnished  room  is  wanted. 
Persons  who  for  any  reason  change  their  minds  about  coming 
to  school  after  having  secured  rooms  will  confer  a  favor  by  at 
once  notifying  the  Business  Manager. 

To  secure  a  room,  or  an  order  which  will  procure  reduced 
rates  when  presented  to  the  ticket  agent  of  either  of  the  above 
mentioned  railroads,  or  at  hotels,  enclose  a  stamp  and  give 
the  name  of  railroad  station  from  which  }-ou  depart,  and  ad- 
dress

Physical  Culture. 

There  is  a  well-defined  tendency  in  modern  schemes  of  edu- 
cation to  return  more  and  more  to  the  old  Greek  idea,  that 
mind  and  body  are  but  as  the  two  well-fitting  halves  of  the  per- 
fect whole,  designed  mutually  to  support  and  sustain  each 
other;  that  each  is  worthy  of  our  constant  care  and  attention,  and 
neither  can  be  neglected  without  seriously  impairing  the  use- 
fulness of  the  other.  Mere  recreative  exercise  is  insufficient 
for  the  needs  of  the  plastic  bodies  of  the  young  who  spend 
a  larger  portion  of  their  time  in  the  constrained  position  of 
study.  Hence  the  necessity  of  a  system  of  physical  exercises, 
and  the  gymnasium  becomes   an  indispensable    adjunct    to    the 


38  STATE    NOR'MAL    SCHOOL, 

recitation  room.  To  this  end  no  little  time  and  money  have 
been  expended  with  results  which  we  believe  justify  all  effort 
put  forth. 

CALISTHENICS 

During  the  fall  and  winter  terms  the  lathes  are  marshalled 
daily  in  Normal  Hall,  which  is  commodious  and  well  ventilated, 
and  are  given  for  a  half  hour  a  vigorous  and  systematic  drill  in 
Calisthenics,  under  the  supervision  of  one  of  the  teachers. 
The  drill  consists  of  breathing  exercises,  free  exercise  bringing 
into  play  all  the  different  parts  of  the  bod}-,  wand  exercises 
furnishing  a  course  of  beautiful  and  peculiarl}-  effective  move- 
ments, exercises  with  Indian  clubs,  dumb  bells,  the  feather 
movement,  which  is  designed  to  add  grace  of  movement,  march- 
ing and  a  number  of  easy  steps  and  games.  INIarching  is  one 
of  the  most  fascinating  features  of  calisthenic  work,  and  with 
bright,  interesting  leaders  an  almost  endless  variety  of  exer- 
cises q.-a.u  be  improvised. 

MILITARY    TACTICS. 

This  feature  has  been  established  as  a  permanent  institution 
by  the  appropriation  by  the  State  authorities  of  one  hundred 
Springfield  rifles  and  bayonets  for  the  use  of  the  students.  A 
cadet  corps  has  been  organized  in  which  a  large  majority  of  the 
male  portion  of  the  school  participate.  A  neat  cap  has  been 
adopted,  and  an  entire  inexpensive  uniform  which  will  be  worn 
at  all  drills  and  can  be  worn  on  other  occasions  is  contemplated 
in  the  near  future.  The  corps  is  drilled  daily  for  a  half  hour  at 
the  close  of  the  study  period  in  the  full  code  of  infantry  drill 
regulations,  including  in  addition  to  the  School  of  the  Soldier 
and  of  the  Company,  battalion  movements,  reviews,  ceremonies, 
extended  order  drill,  guard  duty,   etc.. 

In  addition  to  these  systematic  exercises  of  the  school,  the 
grounds  are  adapted  for  baseball,  foot  hall,  crotjuet,  lawn  ten- 
nis, etc.,  and  the  male  students  by  means  of  an  Athletic  Asso- 
ciation foster  an  interest  in  athletic  sj)orts. 

All  this  physical  activity  has  been  coincident  with  a  degree  of 
health  and  vigor  hitherto  unknown  in  the  history  of  the  school, 
and  it  is  but  natural  and  reasonable  to  ascribe  to  the  two  the  rel- 
ation of  cause  and  effect.

State  Weather  Station. 

The  State  authorities  have  located  here  a  thoroughly  equipped 
station  of  the  Weather  Service,  at  which  daily  observations  are 
taken,  and  the  predictions  forwarded  from  the  Chief  Signal 
Office,  displayed.  The  students  are  enlisted  in  this  work  and 
are  thus  given  a  thorough  training  in  Meteorology. 


Literary  Societies. 


Several  literary  societies  and  debating  clubs  are  maintained 
and  students  are  advised  to  join  them  for  the  training  they  may 
receive  in  parliamentary  practice  and  the  opportunities  afforded 
for  frequent  exercise  in  composition,  oratory  and  debate. 

In  this  progressive  and  eventful  age  no  young  person  is  well 
prepared  for  the  duties  of  life  who  is  not  familiar  with  the 
method  of  opening  and  conducting  a  public  meeting  and  who 
cannot  express  his  thoughts  in  such  a  meeting.  The  training 
received  in  a  well  conducted  literay  society  gives  these  accom- 
plishments and  does  more — it  is  an  incentive  and  an  aid  to  cor- 
rect and  systematic  thought.  The  Ancients  recognized  the  re- 
lation of  thinking  and  speaking,  for  they  placed  oratory  and 
debate  first  in  the  catalogue  of  exercises  for  mental  development. 

The  testimony  of  many  of  our  students  is  that  they  have  de- 
rived more  benefit  from  society  work  than  from  any  one  of  the 
regular  branches  studied. 

A  valuable  feature  of  this  work  is  the  Bancroft  Literary  So- 
ciety in  which  excellent  work  is  being  done,  much  to  the  pleas- 
ure and  profit  of  its  members.  The  Society  has  an  excellent  con- 
stitution, has  adopted  and  makes  a  special  study  of  Robert's  Rules 
of  Order,  thus  giving  training  in  both  the  theory  and  practice  of 
Parliamentary  procedure. 

The  Union  Literary  Society  is  also  carried  on  by  the  students 
of  the  school  and  stimulates  a  healthful  rivalry  in  this  depart- 
ment of  educational  work.    Although    organized    but    recenth . 


40  STATE    NORMAL    SCHOOL, 

this  society  contains  some  of  the    best   elements  in    the    school 
and  an  all-prevading  enthusiasm  characterizes  the  exercises. 


State  Appropriations. 

By  an  act  of  the  Legislature,  the  following  appropriations  are 
made  by  the  State  to  Normal  Students  and  Normal  Graduates  : 

1.  Each  student  over  seventeen  years  of  age,  Avho  shall  sign 
a  paper  declaring  his  intention  to  teach  in  the  Common  Schools 
of  the  State,  shall  receive  Fifty  cents  per  week. 

To  secure  this  allowence,  the  student  must  attend  the  school 
at  least  twelve  consecutive  weeks,  and  recite  daily  in  the 
Teachers'  Training  Class.  The  State  appropriation  is  to  be  de- 
ducted from  the  tuition. 

2.  Each  student  who,  upon  graduating,  shall  sign  an  agree- 
ment to  teach  in  the  Common  Schools  of  the  State  two  full 
years  shall  receive  the  sum  of  fift}-  dollars. 


Expenses. 

All  bills  are  due  and  must  be  paid  when  the  student  enters 
school. 

Tuition  in  all  branches  included  in  the  Normal  department, 
one  dollar  a  week  for  the  term.  The  State  appropriation  as 
explained  in  the  preceding  section,  will  reduce  tuition  to  lift}' 
cents  a  week. 

Room  rent,  including  furniture,  bedding  towels,  heat,  light 
and  washing  of  sheets,  towels,  etc.,  seventy-five  cents  a  week. 
Students  furnish  their  own  table  napkins. 

Room  rent  will  be  charged  for  the  entire  period  f(jr  which  the 
student  has  entered. 

Board  for  the  term  will  cost  $2.00  pvr  week. 

Club  boarding  can  be  arranged  fcjr  :it  rates  to  suit  tlie  eco- 
nomical, as  well  as  those  who  incline  to  take  a  more  generous 
living.      Some  of  our    students    have    brought    th;j    expense    of 


CLARION,    I'A.  4:1 


table  board  as  low  as  $1.55  a  week  in  the  clubs  organized  in  the 
town. 


Advice  to  New  Students. 

1.  Call  at  the  Principal's  office  at  once  on  your  arrival. 

2.  Enter  all  j'our  classes  the  first  da}-,  and  make  }ourself 
thoroughly  at  home.  Introduce  yourself  to  3'our  teachers,  and 
trust  in  them  as  your  friends.  They  will  advise,  help  and  en- 
courage you.  Cheerfulness  on  your  part  will  soon  win  3-ou 
many  friends. 

3.  Do  not  take  man}' studies.  Many  students  undertake  more 
than  they  can  accomplish,  overtax  themselves,  and  become  sick 
and  discouraged. 

4.  You  can  save  time,  money,  your  energies,  avoid  worry 
and  mishaps,  by  seeking  the  advice  of  your  teachers  and  avail- 
ing 5'ourself  of  the  same. 

5.  Choose  3'our  own  studies,  but  do  not  drop  a  class  without 
consulting  both  the  Principal  and  the  teacher  of  the  class  in 
question. 

6.  On  entering  school,  make  up  3'Our  mind  what  3'ou  wish  to 
accomplish  during  the  term,  then  pursue  3^our  object  steadil3' and 
determinedl3'.  Let  nothing  divert  3'ou  from  3-our  purpose. 
Such  a  habit  once  formed  Avill  go  far  to  bring  3-ou  success  in 
life. 

7.  When  it  is  possible,  make  3-our  arrangements  with  a  view 
to  taking  one  of  the  prescribed  courses  of  the  institution,  and 
graduating  in  the  same.  Students  often  waste  much  energ}'  and 
lose  the  most  precious  3-ears  of  their  lives  113-  attending  schools 
in  an  aimless,  perfunctor3'  w-a3-.  It  has  been  proved  in  innu- 
merable cases  that  even  where  the  mone3-  to  defra3-  the 
expenses  of  a  course  has  been  borrowed,  it  will  repa3-  itself 
ma3'  times  over  in  the  increased  value  of  the  graduate  to  his 
emplo3-ers,  whatever  his  station   in   life. 

All  connected  with  the  institution  will  cheerfulh-  help  vou  if 
in  their  power.  It  is  eas3-  to  help  those  who  try  to  help  them- 
selves. 


42  STATE    ^•ORMAL    SCHOOL, 

The  teachers  of  this  institution  are  selected  with  reference  to 
the  special  fitness  of  each  for  the  work  assigned,  and  much  de- 
pendence will  be  placed  on  the  interest  which  can  be  arousetl 
in  the  classes,  for  good  order,  diligent  stud}',  and  for  thorough 
work. 


Conditions  of  Admission. 

Students  can  enter  the  First  Year  Class  of  the  Normal 
Course  at  any  time  without  examination,  and  will  be  ad- 
mitted to  any  class  for  which  they  are  found  to  be  qualified. 

A  prompt  attendance  at  the  opening  of  the  session  is  very 
desirable,  both  for  the  progress  of  the  pupil  and  for-  the  proper 
organization  of  the  school. 

The  date  of  the  opening  of  the  session  means  the  day  on 
which  the  organization  of  classes  is  effected,  and  recitations  ac- 
tually begin.  Students  should  therefore  contrive  to  be  present 
and  have  all  arrangements  completed  on  the  day  preceding.  It 
is  very  essential,  especially  in  branches  where  the  treatment  of 
the  subject  is  continuous,  that  students  be  present  at  the  first 
and  every  recitation. 

On  arriving  at  the  institution,  each  student  should  incpiire  for 
the  Principal'  office  at  once  and  procure  a  Ticket  of  Member- 
ship, which  will  entitle  him  to  the  privileges  of  the  school. 
This  ticket  will  be  his  receipt  for  the  expenses  of  the  term,  and 
will  contain  coupons,  which,  when  inscribed  with  his  name 
and  several  classes,  will  be  his  passport  to    those  classes. 


Moral  and  Religious  Influences. 

While  a  State  Normal  Schf)ol  is  not  sectarian  in  any  })articu- 
lar,  it  should  be  Christian  in  its  infiuences.  Daily  Bible  read- 
ings are  conducted,  and  on  Sabbath  afternoons,  an  hour  is  de- 
voted to  religious  exercises. 

The  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  exert  a  powerful  influence' 


CLARION,     PA.  43 

in  favor  of  good  conduct  and  pure  morals.  Both  organizations 
are  strong  in  the  school  and  are  aggressive  in  the  effort  to  win 
souls  for  Christ.  The  members  are  diligent  in  looking  after 
new  students  and  strive  to  make  them  feel  at  home.  Under 
the  auspices  of  these  organizations  are  held  weekly  and  semi- 
monthly gospel  and  missionary  meetings.  Daily  Bible  classes 
are  sustained,    embracing  a  systematic  study  of  the  Word. 

All  students  are  encouraged  to  attend  on  every  Sabbath  the 
church  of  their  choice,  and  pastors  of  all  denominations  are 
welcomed  to  engage  with  the  members  of  the  school  in  our  re- 
ligious exercises. 


Discipline. 

All  government  should  be  self  government.  We  trust  to  the 
honor  of  students  to  conduct  themselves  as  ladies  and  gentle- 
men. They  are  made  to  feel  that  they  have  a  common  interest 
in  the  school.  Thus  to  a  large  extent  they  are  a  self-governing 
body.  Rules  are  made  and  promulgated  only  where  good  order 
and  the  welfare  of  all  demand  them,  and  penalties  are  for  the 
most  part  confined  to  a  restriction  of  privilege  where  such  priv- 
ilege has  been  abused.  The  following  rules  have  been  placed 
in  all  of  the  rooms  of  the  dormitories  for  information  and  direc- 
tion : 

REGULATIONS. 

1.  Students  are  requested  to  be  in  their  rooms  prompth'  at 
the  ringing  of  the  study  bell. 

2.  During  study  hours  students  must  not  visit  those  occupy- 
ing other  rooms  without  permission  from  the  teacher  of  the 
floor  visited. 

3.  No  loud  talking,  practicing  on  musical  instruments,  or 
other  unnecessary  noise  will  be  permitted  in  the  dormitories 
during  study  hours. 

4.  Students  are  requested  to  walk  quietlv  through  the  halls 
and  upon  the  stairs,  at  all  times  of  the   day. 


44  STATE    NORMAL    SCHOOL,

Summer  School. 


A  Summer  School  for  Teachers  has  been  conducted  in  former 
years  during  the  long  vacation  in  July  and  August,  but  this  year, 
owing  to  the  excursion  to  the  World's  Fair  which  has  been 
planned  for  more  than  a  year,  there  will  be  no  summer  school 
during  vacation  season. 


World's  Fair  Excursion. 

On  June  30,  the  day  following  the  Commencement  Exercises 
of  this  year,  the  teachers  and  students  of  the  School  with  their 
friends  will  have  an  opportunity  to  go  in  a  body  to  the  World's 
Fair  at  Chicago.  Arrangements  have  been  made  for  favorable 
rates  and  first-class  accommodations.      The  enjovmentof  a  visit

to  the  \\'orld's  Fair  with  so  large  a  number  of  friends  and  ac- 
quaintances can  well  be  imagined,  and  will  be  a  fit  closing  to  a 
\ear  of  faithful  effort. 


The  Alumni. 

On  June  27,  iSSS,  the  class  of  that  year  met  f  jr  the  purpose  of  forming  an 

ALUMNI  ASSOCL\TION. 
This  organiza'i^n  has  continaeJ  in  existence  since  that  date,  holding  annual 
meetings  and  receiving  accessions  from  year  to  year  from  each  succeeding  grad- 
uating class.  Its  annual  reunion  is  held  on  Wednesday  evening  of  Commence- 
ment week,  at  which  the  orator  and  essayist  elected  at  the  preceeding  meeting 
perform  the  part  assigned  them,  and  other  exercises  deemed  advisable  on 
the  part  of  the  Executive  Committee.  At  its  last  meeting  the  Association  elect- 
ed the  following  officers  and  performers  to  serve  one  year,  or  until  its  next 
meeting,  June  28,  1S93  : 

C.  C.  Eaton,  '92,  President. 
A    C.  Brown,    '90,  Vice  President 
Anna  Jones,  '92,  Secretary. 
Jno.  A.  Evans,    '91,    Treasurer. 
W.  D.  Curll,  '92,   Orator. 
Mrs.  Ida  M.  Sayers,    '91,  Essayist, 
Miss  Vinnie  Moriarty,  '92,  Reciter. 
The  alumni  of  an  institution  are  the  bulwarks  upon  which  its  fame  must  rest 
Their  glory  is  its  glory,  and  their  success  in  their  respective  callings  will  inevi- 
tably reflect  credit  upon  their  Alma  Mater.     Although  the  history  of  this  insti- 
tution extends  over  but  a  limited  term  of  years,  we  can  point  with  pride  to  what 
has  already  been  achieved  by  those  who  have  gone  from  its  halls.   We  sincerely 
hope  and  trust  this  may  continue. 

In  order  that  friends  of  the  school  may  know  of  the  "whereabouts"  and 
doings  of  our  alumni,  the  members  will  confer  a  favor  by  keeping  the  Principal 
of  the  school  informed  of  any  changes  of  occupation  or  address,  honors  re- 
ceived, marriages,  or  deaths  occurring  among  the  ranks. 

The  following  list  of  names,  together  with  the  postoffices  and  occupations 
during  the  current  year,  has  been  prepared  with  the  best  data  available  :
